The eagle in the center of the trunk lid is an echo of the Imperial eagle logo
that appears on the hood ornament and elsewhere in the car's trim.
Each colored band around the edge of the circle is made of a single
long strand of yarn wound around many times. Although the yarn is flush with
the surface of the car, there is an illusion of scalloping.

The hood. (Hmm, I oughta replace this outdated photo. The hood is predominantly blue now, rather
than black. Same general pattern though.)

This closeup photo by Mike Pittinaro gives an impression of the car's fuzzy texture.

Some overhead shots.

Photographer Harrod Blank played a neat trick with perspective in this picture.
You can plainly see the hood ornament and the tips of the front fenders.
But where'd the hood go?
